What is the basis for SUV classification?
1 Answers
SUV classification is based on factors such as wheelbase, body length, and engine displacement. SUVs can be categorized into small SUVs, compact SUVs, mid-size SUVs, economy SUVs, mid-high-end SUVs, luxury SUVs, and ultra-luxury SUVs. An SUV refers to a Sports Utility Vehicle, which is a suburban practical vehicle combining the space functionality of a station wagon with the off-road capability of a pickup truck. SUVs are characterized by powerful performance, excellent off-road capability, spacious comfort, and good cargo and passenger capacity. While traditional off-road vehicles excel in terrain adaptability, they often lack in sportiness and comfort. When these shortcomings are addressed and enhanced, the vehicle can be referred to as an SUV.
